Thread: Bedford trucks

I learnt to drive in a J1 which my dad bought brand new at the time on the farm in northland. Started when I was around 5yr old. The old man would put it in first gear and jump out and I would stand on the seat and steer it around the hay paddock while he picked up the bales. When I was big enough to push the clutch in and change gear myself, he taught me how to do hand brake slides but threatened me with my life if I ever did one with him on the back loading hay . Sat my license in the old girl. Them were the days!
